Our History

A family concern

Horsleys of Stafford, formerly Horsley Bros., has been a family business since it was established in 1895.

Originally a coal merchant and removals company, based in Stafford from the start, Horsleys is now under the management of Russell and Nigel Horsley, the fifth generation of the family to be actively involved in the company, with the sixth generation already having joined the fold.

This family aspect extends to our customers and influences the way do business at every level, creating the culture and success we have maintained for more than 120 years, helping us to be a trusted and valued removals partner for customers throughout Staffordshire.

Same high standards, different horsepower

From horse-drawn carriage to our modern fleet of fully equipped removal vehicles, Horsleys vehicles, and the business as a whole, have continued to move with the times to provide our customers with the best and most efficient service possible.
